Accent chairs can come in just about any design that can be imagined. The chair may be simple straight-back chair with arms, such as rocking chair. Accent Chairs can also be larger piece, such as chaise lounge. The idea is to have the chairs work in conjunction with the rest of the furniture in the room so the overall look is harmonious even while the space is given additional purpose or function.

A good example of the use of Accent Chairs would be in large living room.

By placing one or two chairs in corner or under window in the room, it is possible to create secondary seating area where two people could carry on private conversation, or where one or two people could settle in with good book. Thus with the use of accent chairs, the room can easily accommodate more than one function.

One of the important factors to keep in mind with accent chairs is that the furniture must work in harmony with the rest of the room. That means the color, texture and general design of the chair must be in harmony with other furnishings and color schemes present in the room. The idea is to use the chair to expand the function of the room while still obviously being intentional part of the overall look.
